About the Event 

Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and often physical exhaustion which is brought on by prolonged or repeated stress. It’s most often caused by problems at work.

Statistics published by HSE covering the 2020/21 period, show of the 1.7 million workers suffering from a work-related illness, 822,000 were due to stress, depression, or anxiety. A report by the global management consultancy firm Deloitte estimates that the total annual cost of poor mental health to employers has increased by 25% since 2019, costing UK employers up to £56 billion a year.

The moral and financial case to take action to reduce cases of work-related stress has never been so compelling. Employers also have a legal duty to protect employees from stress at work by doing a risk assessment and acting on it. However, many who are tasked with managing work-related stress do not understand their legal obligations, know what to do or where to start.

This webinar aims to identify workplace stressors and to help reduce them to create a positive, healthier workplace.
